Unfunctionable

I am tooooo sleepy for this, I'll get you guys all up to speed Wednesday or Thursday :')))

***********

Welllllll, I was trying to look back at my last post to help me see my resolutions, but apparently we restarted the blog a week after the New Year so there's that ig :'))). Luckily, I took a pic of the little NY activity we did and want to do the same this year!

above the squiggle is my highlights for that year, and below the squiggle is what I wanted to do

Ngl, even though 2022 was great for me in a lot of ways it was bad in A LOT of other ways, Like I am glad that I was able to write more through the blogs and through my own little endeavors and was able to continue stretching a such (though I never got around to splits yet, though I am really close now!), I never really got around to overdo things like getting back to reading-- I promised myself that I would get back into reading after I graduated since I never really had time to but that never happened and it makes me sad because I hate to think I overgrew the ability to read again because it was so fun to do (kind of like overgrowing monkeybars and hula hopping). As for improving my language skills, I think I DEF improved my french from where I started but I wanna maintain what I gained especially since I would like to visit France again and would like to confidently say I can speak French and feel secure in beginning another language. That being said, because of my lack in confidence in beginning another language, get rejected from JET and consequently not having the chance to go to Japan (my first rejection and it really hurt), and the fact that I thought I was going to Albania and started studying Albanian, I never got around to visiting Japan or having the motivation to study Japanese. However! I am on an anime bender rn and have been listening to a lot of Japanese which has to count for something right? Also, during my New Year celebration my friend's mom and her family friends only spoke in Japanese and I was able to hold up and I techinically beat everyone in this hiragana new year game (I say technically cuz I realized I was getting too competitive and started being gracious so others could win too) so ig that also counts??? I would like to study Japanese more though, I really love the language and am always saying I am gonna study, so I just need to commit and actually do it.

With that being said I am going to highlight each month of 2022 before I give my 2023 resolutions :)))

January

[Celebrating New Year with these cats, doing my hair in a style for the first time with fake hair, eating snails, and visiting this very Norman town called Lisieux]

February

[Losing my hearing to this "dance" performace, getting these cute polaroids, visiting this fun bar with my teachers, visiting Bordeaux with Aboni (hands down one of the best cities I visited in France), going to this alpine town with Boni, seeing OTPs animated and hotter than ever, meeting Aboni's teacher's cats :), seeing Chat Noir in Marseille!, making this powerful cover my phone background]

March

[Finally doing a spontaneous trip to Paris, my mom visiting and crossing the pond for the first time!, visiting Rachel's town]

April

[It snowing in my town, Erin visiting me in France, visiting Italy for the first timea nd having Italian Pizza 😒 and almost getting stranded out there :"))) (literally one of the most stressful moments in my life 😭😂😭), getting super sick from allergies while out there 😭, seeing many of the Roman attractions, making fried coke for my teachers, sitting on a 25 hour ride and dislocating my tailbone, saying goodbye to my sweet, sweet babies T^T (I really hope they are doing well and that I impacted them postively)]

May

[Exploring Lisbon and Sintra with the bhaddest bhadies, going to Stacey's graduation 🤪, and seeing my niblings again after so long :'))]

June

[Sebastian's bday and statrting my locs]

July

[Finishing decorated my room and having a full size bed for the first time, visiting the SCAD museum for the first time, taking my niblings to the beach for the first time, starting my matcha cafe job :"))]

August

[Seing smithies in Ga (it is so trippy)-- my series of dates with Anna before she left for Mass and May and Claire visiting me, my niece's big 1-0 bday!]

September

[Erin-she visiting Ga and Getting an artifical iron transfusion that almost killed me and the day after getting the unfortunate news that I couldn't go to Albania :(]

October

[Me, Aboni, and Stacey's "sunflower" farm trip making it out of the group chat (yes, it was a pumpkin farm not a sunflower famr 😂), visiting my niblings for lunch for the first time, seeing my dad in Tennesee and having a scenic ride filled with good podcasts and fun chats with Aboni, throwing Aboni a successful going away party!, accepting that my teacher died and that I needed to start finding alternatives for my trajectory since being rejected from PC and not getting too depressed, visitng NYC to see familiar faces]

November

[Taking my niblings to Helen for the first time, visiting GaTech for the "first" time, having my wig-desu/ginger moment, first eggnog in 2 years :'), my FAVORITE manga series ending T-T, fighting for my life from throwing up and pooping my guts out (I took this pic the next day while healing from the whole ordeal)]

December

[The beautiful fog that took over Ga for a few days, setting up the Christmas tree with my nibling again after missing last year, eating Tartare, taking my mom to a Christmas market for the first time, going to KBBQ with my mom and niblings for Christmas, getting yet another person addicted to OneZo (Sebastian doesn't even like boba but has been asking for extra boba serving because OneZo is just ✨That Gurl✨)]

Yup, yup those are my highlights for the year of 2022. Like I said before, there was some good things from 2022 but a few heavy bad things that really left a bad taste for me. I am hopeful for the new year though, which leads me to my new years resolutions. I already told this to Erin but I genuinely just want this year to be a good year, like everything I do to be memorable and fun and for me to be the best version of myself-- so that means getting back to practicing cello, reading, practicing french, being fashionable, being a better daughter and aunt, eating better and exercising, getting better at dancing (like more choreographed dances), icing myself out, and studying. I feel remissed to call it resolutions because it is just the Year of Naoni but ig when it really comes to it for simplicity sake, these are my resolutions.

I really want so much from this year and I am hopefully that it will be just as much as I am hoping it to be 🥹

Anyways,,, I will leave my pics from this week and as usual ttyl!

Got to be the first to sign my niece's cast

It rained so much T-T, this is the biggest lake I seen in my backyard yet :0

My coworker made me a tostada :)

Watched a few episodes of this anime my niblings and I are watching the night before ,and then in the morning we went to the park to play for a little bit

I used to think this man was the coolest when I was younger and I rediscovered him the other day, and I think my opinion stands 😂

Went to school with my niece to figure out who I had to beat up 🔫 (she was complaining about her teacher being mean to her, just turns out her teacher just had a lot of expectations of her)

Appreciate the fit in its entirety ;P (this is the first color outfit I have worn since probably leaving for NYC in October and forgot how much fun it is to mix patterns and colors!)

Went for a walk with the good ole Anna in Atl :))))

Okieeee byeee!
